Here is a brief explanation of the guild message threads and what they are used for.
First of all, any message with // TITLE is a Guild thread, these are message threads that you should not leave or delete, you will likely need them at some point.
// Materials/Goods Needed
This is where guild members post if they are in need of goods for their City, Great Building, Research or Negotiation. First put your trades in the market, then attach the trade offer in the message thread using the paper clip icon.
// Back and Forth Trade Thread
This is used more for Events and Quest lines. You use this thread for completing “Gather Goods” quests. (Example: I receive a “Gather 420 goods” quest in an event. I look at my goods and see what I have enough of to do a trade. I create two trades for guild only, one 210 Marble for 210 Lumber and then a second one reversing the first offer. 210 Lumber for 210 Marble. Once they are set I post both Trade Offers into the thread using the paper clip icon. A member then opens the thread and takes both trades. I end up with same amount of goods I started with, but have completed my “Gather 420 goods” quest.)
// Sticks to Bricks
When constructing a new Great Building the guild helps each other get it going. Attach your new GB, using the paper clip icon, into the thread notify members that you are under construction. Members of the guild will help by donating a few Forge Points to get the building built. It's also expected that when you see others post, you in turn donate to them.

// Valor 1.9 donation thread
this is to help all players level GBs with the aid of players who have, or are close to having, level 80 arcs. These players can pay 1.9% on spots that players have secured with their own FP. A more detailed description will be posted as a reply below
// Guild Expedition
This is a place for questions, updates and info on guild expeditions. These expeditions happen week and is a great way to earn rewards for yourself and helps the guild to grow also. Every effort matters so all member are asked to finish stage 1 weekly, with the few exceptions.
// Guild vs. Guild
This is used to coordinate and plan upcoming territory sieges. A guild administrator will post asking if anyone would like to participate in a siege, what Age is being considered, what time is proposed, and what specific sectors are targeted. Additional information can/will be posted like if the guild needs any goods from the chosen age to help with the siege efforts. It is also where you would post if you notice that one of our sectors is under siege. (Please add the Age and sector when posting)
If you are interested please respond within the thread that you are available.
// Guild Battlegrounds
This is a place for info on guild battleground targets and to coordinate any related activities. Often the current targets will be indicated in the thread title for example: //Guild Battlegrounds B3T. Every effort matters so all member are asked to participate as much as possible.
// Observatory of the Day
Observatories are important, they provide goods of the owners current age to the guild treasury. This thread is used to help advance members Observatories and help those who don't have one earn blueprints. A player will be selected to receive guild help. That player will remain the target of this thread until his or her observatory has leveled up (usually to level 5).
When an observatory is chosen (Usually the lowest one in the guild). Simply donate a few Forge Points when you can to help the nominated Observatory. Please post the amount in the thread. (Example: +4 Ana.)
If you need Blueprints make sure you donate enough to secure the reward spot desired.
// GB Swap Thread (Number)FP
These threads are develop to help members grow their great buildings and earn GB rewards. The quantity of FPs for swapping is in the threads title.
Chose the thread based on the amount of FPs you want to use. Open the thread and use the paper clip icon to attach the Great Building you a member to donate to. Next you open the previous members attached GB and donate the appropriate amount. (Example: I open the ### GB Swap Thread - 10 FP ### thread, dc3006 has posted his Zeus. I want to work on my Lighthouse of Alexandria. So I attach my LoA, then I go back and donate 10 FP to dc3006's Zeus. The next person will post their choice then donate 10 FP to my LoA.)
// Arc Swap 20FP
Similar to the //GB Swap (Number)FP threads but this is designed to for members working on their Arcs.
// How about a little game……
This thread is an internal Guild game where members wager 10 FP on what the last digit of Expedition points will be on a specific date. A player chooses a number 0-9 and then picks what Great Building they want the winnings to be placed on (If they are lucky enough to win.) Please make sure to check the current list to see if the number is available before posting. Then post your number and GB (Example: I open the thread, look at the list and then post “3 for me on CdM”.) The Admin updates the list with your wager.
If you win all the other members that have made wagers put 10 FP on your chosen GB. If you lose you put 10 FP on the winners GB and then post to the thread letting everyone know you paid. (Example: Arwyn has won and had chosen the Arc, so I post “+10 Arwyn's Arc”.)
// 1FP Prints for Guild
This thread is for people that are self-leveling their GB, or being aided by players through set agreements. Sometimes reward spots are left open and members will give us the opportunity to get these spots so we can earn GB Blueprints. (Example, Smiles7 posts “Last spot for 1 FP if anybody wants it )” then posts her Castel del Monte.) This lets members know that for 1 FP you will claim 5th place and earn Blueprints for CdM.
If you choose to take it please respond in the thread to let the poster know they can flip their GB, and so that other members know the offer was taken.
// Vacation/Offline
This thread is to let administration and members know when you have short-term time away from the game. This is useful for admins so the understand why there is no participation in things like aiding and guild expedition.
At first they may take some getting used to, just look through some of the threads and you'll get a feel for them.
